What is the Commerce Reporting Analytics Suite and who benefits from it?
The Commerce Reporting Analytics Suite is a unified reporting tool that brings together critical financial and sales data, including bookings, billings, and cash flow, alongside pipeline and engagement metrics. It is designed for business leaders and finance teams using the Hoop platform who need a single, comprehensive view of their commerce performance.
This suite helps leaders understand not only what is happening with their revenue but also the underlying reasons why, enabling better decision-making right inside the CRM. It ensures consistent metric reporting across all teams and geographies.
How does the reporting suite unify customer and revenue data?
The suite works by blending object data across the entire customer lifecycle, allowing for analysis of conversions from the initial quote all the way through to payment. This holistic approach means you can analyze everything from early pipeline health to finalized revenue metrics.
Key metrics you can monitor within the suite include:
- Quotes sent vs. signed and time-to-sign trends.
- Invoice status, aging, and write-off exposure.
- MRR/ARR growth, churn, and expansion revenue.
By providing standard models, the platform keeps metrics consistent, eliminating reporting discrepancies between different departments or regional offices.
Can non-analysts easily build reports using this suite?
Yes, the Commerce Reporting Analytics Suite is designed with usability in mind, specifically for business users who may not have a data science background. Drag-and-drop builders are utilized to make dashboard creation approachable, while still preserving the rigor and accuracy of the underlying data analysis.
Users can start with curated dashboards and then customize them by adding specific filters, cohorts, and comparisons. This makes it simple to save and share stakeholder views that precisely reflect how each function within the company measures success.

You can report data in either the local currency of the transaction or in converted amounts. The system ensures that consistent, up-to-date conversion rates are used for all calculations. This guarantees that financial reporting remains standardized and reliable for stakeholders across different geographies.

Data security within the Hoop Commerce Reporting Analytics Suite is a top priority, adhering to industry best practices. The reports are built upon the robust security framework of the overall Hoop CRM, ensuring all customer and financial data remains protected and compliant with privacy regulations.
The platform employs consistent data models and role-based permissions to ensure only authorized users can view or interact with sensitive commerce reports. Furthermore, the reporting feature integrates seamlessly with standard data pipelines, maintaining integrity and security from source to dashboard.
